Investigate the relationship between successful intelligence and differentiation of self with life satisfaction

Introduction: Nowadays, learnerschr('39') life satisfaction and identification of related factors are the focus of studies that are related to positive education. Because of the importance of satisfaction predictors, the present study examined the relationship between self-differentiation and successful intelligence with learnerschr('39') life satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of self-differentiation and successful intelligence with life satisfaction among secondary school girls of Urmia City. The research was descriptive in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of data collection, which was conducted within the framework of a correlational design. Methods: The method of the present study is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the present study in 2017 was 1800 female secondary school students in Urmia and 318 students were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method according to Morgan table. Questionnaires of life satisfaction of Diner et al. (1978) self-differentiation of Skowron and Schmidt (2003) and successful intelligence of Grigorenko and Sternberg (2002) , were used to collect data and Simultaneous Correlation and Regression methods were used in data analysis. Results: The subscales of emotional responsiveness and emotional failure are inversely related to correlation coefficients of -0.370 and -0.310, respectively, with life satisfaction. The correlation coefficient between the subscales of successful intelligence including analytical intelligence, creative intelligence and practical intelligence with life satisfaction is 0.418, 0.561 and 0.483, respectively which indicate a positive relationship with life satisfaction. Conclusions: Findings showed that components of self-differentiation and the subscales of successful intelligence have the ability to predict life satisfaction significantly.
